About The Poker Hall of Fame: Established in 1979, the Poker Hall of Fame was acquired by Harrah’s Entertainment in 2004 along with the World Series of Poker. Although it exists virtually, the Hall of Fame recognizes poker’s most influential players and other significant contributors to the game. Currently, there are 32 living members, with a total of 59 individuals honored as Poker Hall of Famers. The Poker Hall of Fame traditionally elects one or two members every year. The induction ceremony now coincides with the final table of the WSOP Main Event held in Las Vegas.
